Prodigy and Westinghouse Targeting Launch of eVinci Floating Nuclear Plant in Canada by 2030
"Prodigy underscores flexibility will be a key driver for the emerging FNPP market. But rather than developing reactors, its approach is to partner with leading SMR vendors to offer a standardized, scalable, and fully transportable nuclear power plant system—essentially by linking expertise in three mature industries: nuclear, maritime, and transport."

Outside Of Tesla, China Might Be Dominant Force In Global EV Market
“China now accounts for 90% of the world’s rare earths production. China also controls the refining and processing sectors. The market for these products are mostly the EV supply chain. China has worked hard to exert control over the mining and processing of those critical minerals used in making EVs what they are today. Their lead is this segment of the supply chain, a super important segment to say the least as Polestars aren’t powered by the wind. Some 70% of global EV battery manufacturing capacity is in China, while the US has less than 10%, most of it being run by Tesla. Of the 142 lithium-ion battery megafactories under construction worldwide, China will be home to 107 of them. “

20/20 vision for wildlife habitat conservation
"America’s Wildlife Habitat Conservation Act (AWHCA) is a visionary, logical and reasonable policy to more broadly use our proactive tools and knowledge to improve habitat. It will make strategic investments in state and tribal led conservation on both federal and private lands with the caveat that these conservation efforts can generate funding to reinvest and do even more conservation. By strengthening relationships with states, tribes, private landowners, and the federal government, we will empower them to create proactive conservation programs that have been proven to work both on the ground and economically. Through timber sales from thinning activities and private investments in the value created through habitat conservation work, broad scale conservation can eventually fund itself far more effectively than the federal government can, but federal resources and policies are needed to get the conservation started."
